Mamata to push for abolition of NITI Aayog & revival of Planning Commission

Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee is expected to strongly advocate for the abolition of NITI Aayog and the reinstatement of the Planning Commission. She is set to attend the NITI Aayog meeting, which will be chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday.

During an informal interaction with journalists in Delhi, Banerjee on Friday said that the NITI Aayog has no financial power and she felt the need to reinstate the Planning Commission. Banerjee mentioned that the old system must be brought back.

“If I get an opportunity to speak at Saturday’s NITI Aayog meeting, I will speak for Bengal and other states. If I am not allowed to present my view, I may walk out of the meeting. The state government received the letter of invitation to join the meeting ahead of the Union Budget. We had been informed that we would be joining the meeting. Later we saw that Bengal has grossly been deprived in the Budget. It is my duty to protect the interest of the people in Bengal,” Banerjee said.
